The Bishop Murder Case
The Bishop Murder Case (1928), was commonly cited it as S. S. Van Dine's best book, although it is now considered to be labored and somewhat pointless. In this book, Philo Vance, Van Dine's popular detctive character, solves a mystery built around a nursery rhyme. The Bishop Murder Case seems to be not only the first nursery-rhyme mystery book, but the first of any sort of mystery novel constructed around a formal scheme.
